I just drew a cartoony style version of Flynn, my battle captain.
I did it in MS Paint, although I added the text and some effects in Photoscape. I also did a sort of grainy texture which made the lines look kind of funky.

Also, here is an actual picture of him marching down a corridor in search of some enemies.

What do you think of the drawing? I need to work on my Lego hands - they didn't turn out to well. Also, I think that the head need to be more cylinder-like. I tried to bend it a little, and it didn't turn out to well, either. I think that the neck thingy was the hardest part, but it ended up looking all right.

MS Paint isn't exactly the greatest, but it's better than nothing. I'm looking up some other free software, but I haven't found a lot of good stuff.

For free programs, I've heard Gimp works pretty well, though I use Photoshop instead. As for the drawing itself, it's not that great, but that is to be expected. Try drawing it on paper if you have a scanner because I find it's a bunch easier than with a mouse. Compared to Mike's, your arms and legs are way smaller, and your hands could get enlarged too. The weapon's pretty good though.

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

i thought it was pretty good for drawing with a mouse. better than i can do anyways <_<

yeah, i'd go with thickening the arms and legs, along with fixing leg angles. you've got the correct shape of minifig legs down (personally i think that's the hardest part), but they're set apart at a funny angle like he's trying to do that cowboy walk. it just looks a bit unnatural

and how is his sword made? it looks great! i just can't tell cause it's dark in the actual photo

You pretty much have to distort minifigs one way or another if you want to get dramatic pictures of them. I've seen a lot of artists do it different ways, and I don't think there's any one right or wrong way in particular. Everyone pretty much develops a style over time that they're most comfortable with.

As you can see, it's a very small, one-walled set. On the left you can see that I bounced light from my halogen lamp off of a plain sheet of white paper to create a nice dramatic lighting effect. I also turned on a dim overhead light to fill in the shadows just a little bit.
